Reproducibility ≤ ± 1 mm
Deviation with bulk solids The values depend to a great extent on the
application. Binding specifications are thus not
possible.
Variables influencing measurement accuracy
Temperature drift - Digital output
± 3 mm/10 K relating to the max. measuring range
or max. 10 mm

Influence of the superimposed gas and pressure to the accuracy
The propagation speed of the radar impulses in gas or vapour above the medium is reduced by
high pressure. This effect depends on the superimposed gas or vapour and is especially large at
low temperatures.
The following table shows the resulting deviation for some typical gases and vapours. The
specified values refer to the distance. Positive values mean that the measured distance is too
large, negative values that the measured distance is too small.
